Funded Activity Summary
Assessing the effectiveness of the ageing workforce in regional organisations of Western Australia: A biopsychosocial analysis. This project will identify key organisational, management and occupational health and safety factors affecting ageing workforces in regional industries. By 2016, demographic estimates indicate a significant reduction of the young labour force while people aged 45 years and over will account for more than 80 per cent of the labour force growth (ABS, 2003). Consequently, the productivity and viability of labour-intensive industries everywhere but especially in regional Australia, will be severely affected. We will develop a novel intervention model to maximise the effectiveness of the ageing workforce. This will provide an important decision-making tool for many states, regional and local employers and bodies concerned.Funded Activity Details
